Istanbul Taxi from Istanbul Airport (IST) — the Fixed-Price Way
Searching for a Istanbul taxi? A metered cab from Istanbul Airport (IST) (≈45 km, ~50 min) gives you no fixed price, no flight tracking and, in peak season, a long rank queue. Our private transfer is a fixed €55 per car, pre-booked and waiting for you.
You ride in your own Mercedes with an English-speaking driver who meets you in arrivals with a name sign — not a shared cab, and never a surprise fare. The price you see is the price you pay, whatever the traffic or the hour.

FAQ
How much is a taxi from Istanbul Airport (IST) to Istanbul?
A metered taxi varies with traffic, time of day and season, so there's no fixed figure. Our private transfer to Istanbul is a fixed €55 per vehicle (not per person), confirmed before you book.
Is a private transfer cheaper than a Istanbul taxi?
For two or more passengers it usually is — and the price never changes with traffic or surge. For families and groups it is both cheaper and more comfortable than a metered cab.
Can I just grab a taxi at Istanbul Airport (IST)?
You can, but in peak season the rank queues and the meter starts the moment you set off. Pre-booking a fixed-price transfer means a driver is already waiting for you with your name.
